Wow, thank you so much for the info on fixing the boot problem no floppy
etc.

I followed the instructions exactly EXCEPT, my lines were 173, 174 and
175. The edit of file grub-mkconfig_lib using the terminal command: sudo
gedit /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib worked flawlessly. I found it
easier to comment out the lines with "#" instead of just deleting them.
Immediately after saving the file with the changes I used the next and
final terminal command: sudo update-grub

I then did a little dance around the laptop on the floor, closed my eyes
and rebooted.  However I did save all my saved docs to a flash
drive...just in case.

The result was a perfect boot right on through.

Thanks to everyone who contributed that information. Ubuntu is "The Key
to Being Free" and thank you to the developers and everyone else that
had anything to do with it. I've been looking for a way out of windows
for as long as I can remember. Ubuntu's most recent release made it easy
to do.

Thanks again,

Dennis
